New fender badges! Archetype Racing DNA Badge

RagnarKon

Jul 07, 2024

So many of you will know there were two "premium" fender emblems available for the Bronco. One was sold here on Bronco Nation and had a modern block letters, the other is made by Archetype Racing and have the classic 1st gen cursive script with your trim as the placard..

I apparently hate my wallet because I bought both simply because I couldn't decide. I do like the block lettering better, but unfortunately the emblems were never made available in colors. I had been waiting for them to be available in color, but at this point I think it's safe to say they have been discontinued. So I eventually gave up and decided to go with Archetype Racing's badges.

Those of you have bought Archetype Racing products before will know three things:

The products are insanely expensive.
It takes forever to ship. If they say a certain product has an 8 week lead time, you should expect double or even triple that.
The products are amazing quality. So good that for me it overcomes the first two points.

Below is the install video. Available for purchase here.

I ordered a custom set last year and it took close to 6 months to get them but well worth the wait. I had them paint the inside gray rather than the standard red. I didn't think the red would blend with the HPR too well. I haven't installed them yes as my side hockey stripes would be in the way. When I get tired of the stripes, I'll put these on.

I am still waiting and the company no longer seems to respond to my questions about when it will arrive. I would strongly advise using considerable cautious buying anything from this company. They likely are making a solid product, I couldn't tell you since it's been over 10 months now and I don't have anything in my hand.

Are they still in business?

I’m interested, since I’ve been on the fence for a long time on pulling the trigger… I’m going to try contacting them and see if they respond… I’m sorry you are not getting any better customer service from them…

I purchased the Badlands Sasquatch script in black and the Magnum Stirups before my ‘23 Bronco order even arrived. I ordered from them well in advance - many months ahead of time since I heard the deliveries were taking so long. I did receive the products just before my Bronco. That was a risk, but the products arrived before the Bronco did and the quality was top notch - I was very satisfied. The magnum stirrups are amazing and bolt to the OEM rock rails. They are not only functional, look amazing, but 100% rock deflectors. Super pricey but haven’t seen anything else of that quality on the market. That said, I recently ordered the vinyl hood application and did receive it, but looking it in real-life the color just wasn’t right for my Bronco and I never applied it. I sent them messages requesting a return and never got a response. So I packaged it up like new in the original packaging and sent it back. I still never heard anything back from them despite multiple inquiries, and never got a refund. Zero response - not anticipating a refund any time soon. I will not be looking to them for anything more at this point.

I've had an order in since April. A grabe handle.
I don't have it and I get no response from them when I inquire.

In @RagnarKon associated post, it appears that archetype racing is indeed out of business.

Yeah, I read them both.
Luckily I got my fender badges from bronco Nation. And I kinda doubt they will go out of business.
